Just what the world fucking needs, sad to see Olde Charlie having a pop at Bowie, he really should know better. Shame you can count on one hand the number of decent tunes the Stones have released since the mid 70s, years of sub standard shit but that's the great 60s bands for you

Reply , 6:40 Tue Feb 27Re: Stones to play London Stadium An American magazine has published its opinion of the 500 greatest rock and roll songs to date. The Stones version of “Sympathy for the devil” comes in their list at number 32.

At 32 out of 500 it certainly seems to me to be one of the great rock and roll songs.

My MATES covers band (the Mint) mainly do a mix of 60's, Mod revival, Brit Pop.... by a country mile the best song they cover is Sympathy for the Devil (saying that Secret Affairs - My World is a close second)... absolute blinding it is....

I think a lot of the problem is the instant return that any company wants from any investment these days. A few decades back, a young band would be allowed a bit of time to develop and build their following, which sadly is not part of the business model now.

A friend who works in the music business recently described their overall strategy as basically finding new ways to keep scraping the Marmite jar!
